Abstract

This paper discusses the historical dimension that reflects the circumstances and differences which shape the relations between ethnicity associated with religious affiliation in Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. The basis for the discussion is derived from the current reflection of Multi-ethnicity and multi-religious society in Malaysia which is not merely based on single context at national level. In fact, it is evident that these two interrelated aspects are actually subjected to different context in the sub-regions namely West Malaysia also known as The Peninsula and East Malaysia which is composed of Sabah and Sarawak. This different status-quo also reflects different impact on all issues related to ethnicity and religious sentiments in Malaysia as a whole. Since most of the existing writings have only focused on the current perspective on the differences in ethnicity and religiosity between the Peninsula and Sabah, it is important to explore the historical development during colonial period which shaped the phenomena in ethnicity and religiosity in both areas. Such differences were fundamentally different and consequently would lead to the different historical development to shape the current status-quo in both areas.
